Background

The album features a hard rock-influenced sound similar to the sound of the artist's releases over the previous several years. It includes covers of two songs best known for their versions done by Muddy Waters. The release also includes notable collaborative work with musicians Cassie Taylor and Otis Taylor.[1] It is the last studio album recorded by Moore; he died on 6 February 2011.[2]

Critical reception

The album has received positive critical reviews from publications such as Allmusic, with critic Hal Horowitz stating that Moore's "under-appreciated voice is strong and convincing on originals and covers" while the artist's "tough guitar lines" also have a "biting yet classy" sound.[1]
